I know you on HN aren't actually interested in the truth, but here it is anyway. The Onion did not purchase Infowars: https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1857223

You're linking to a video from a guy who has lied so hard he is now bankrupt, to tell us it's a lie that his company got bought due to his lies, all while being hosted on a platform elusively catered to lying...

Why'd anyone take Jones words as truth anymore? He's a convicted serial lier. The domain obviously has changed owners.

Truth from the guy who says the parents of murdered kids are “crisis actors.” This is the essence of populism: revolting against a disliked and distrusted establishment by backing a significantly and very obviously worse alternative. Instead of the mainstream media which has proven itself untrustworthy let’s go for a full on con artist. Instead of bad journalism let’s have pure fantasy made up by dudes taking bong hits. It’s the intellectual equivalent of protesting police misconduct by setting your own neighborhood on fire and destroying your own things. That’ll show em.

As much as I’m amused by the purchase of InfoWars by The Onion, many are, in fact, interested in the truth and appreciate other perspectives. To wit, I did some googling because of your message, not the X post. Best I can find right now is this NY Post [0] article, so I’ll continue watching to see how this unfolds.

Who links to twitter anymore? That place is untrustworthy and irrelevant.

Well it seems like it was halted by a judge. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14085727/Judge-halts-Infowars-sale-Onion-Alex-Jones-Sandy-Hook.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14085727/Judge-halt... I can see it looks a bit iffy saying there's an auction and then taking a private bid without letting others bid.

It's quite funny reading all the comments on here of people nearly foaming at the mouth in excitement that someone got fined the GDP of a small nation for speech, went bankrupt, was supposedly bought by a left-wing satire news outlet to rub salt in the wound of him losing his life's work, and it turns out the sale wasn't even real. I'm ashamed to be among this crowd sometimes. On that note, anyone know of websites similar to HN that aren't filled to the brim with LA/NY brats? Other than /g/?
